[bsancken]

Ok so I have found these 3 modules and i would like to know your opinions and suggestions.

Green- 500mW Green 532nm


Blue- 1W Blue 445nm


Red- 500mW Red 635nm

I will be using DT40-PRO Wides with the lasers in the green -> pass green-reflect red -> pass green+red- reflect blue Order…

Please and Thanks for any and all suggestions!!

I have found with all the dicros I have tested it's usually best to go RGB or BGR.

Summing up 1TB worth of colortheory posts:

Buy as much power as you can afford, as long as they're not off by more than 50%.
Matched divergence is just as imortant as power for color reproduction.
Not to mention modulation characteristics.

I would do RBG because red is most expencive, blue in the middle because its the least visable and so you want to keep the most of it and green as last

Edison makes a good point... If you can't test your dicros first put red closest to the scanners.

I have found that putting the lasers in the order of the color spectrum usually works out the best even if red is at the back. Most dicros seem to have the least loss this way. In my experience pass green and red/ reflect blue usually lose lots of green but not much red. And pass blue reflect green lose more blue.

Okay so you are saying that the best order would be Green -> Pass Green// Reflect Blue-> Pass Blue+Green// Reflect Red --> To scanners Correct?

Thanks!!
